NECKTIE HOLDER.

Application filed October 18, 1826.

This invention relates to improvements in devices for holding or suspending neckties or the like articles adapted for home use as well as for use as a display rack or the like in stores etc., and it is the principal object of the invention to provide a necktie or cravat holder of extremely simple and therefor inexpensive construction, yet durable and eflicient in operation.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a necktie holder in which an endless or continuous wire is suitably bent into a plurality of loops held in the frame of the holder, exchangeably or not.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a necktie holder having a longitudinally slotted frame, in which the material of the frame along the inner marginal edges of the slot are bent to hold the wire loops in place.

These and other objects and advantages of our invention will become more fully known as the description thereof proceeds, and will then be specifically defined in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawing, forming a material part of this disclosure:

Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a necktieholder constructed according to our invention.

Fig. 2 is a sectional detail view of our device illustrating the manner of holding the wire loops in the frame in their parts intermediate the ends thereof.

Fig. 3 is a sectional detail view of our device illustrating the manner of holding the ends of the wire forming the looops.

As shown on the drawing, the necktie holder comprises aframe of any desired and suitable material and shape, preferably as shown and designated 10. This frame has a longitudinally extending slot or open space intermediate its ends, designated 11, and the outer ends of the frame are shaped as illustrated in Figure 1 and equipped with openings or slots 12 and 18 respectively allowing a ready suspension of the device from a hook or nail etc.

Serial No. 1 12,354.

The inner marginal edges of the material of the frame are bent upon the material of the frame side bars 14, 15 respectively as indioated for instance at 16, to form a space to guide the wire 17. This wire 17 is continuous or endless and formed into a plurality of loops 18 and 19 respectively wider at the outside than at the inside, and the inner loops are guided between the bars 14, 15 and the marginal end'flanges 16, which are then pressed down by any suitable tool between each inner loop and its neighbor forming the ridges 20. In the same manner the wire ends are held as shown in Figure 3 between the side bars 14, 15 and the ends of the flanges 16.

The operation of our device will be entirely clear from the above description, the neokties are placed between the single loops and are prevented from accidentally slipping off by the outer wider parts thereof.

It is to be understood, that such changes as come within the scope of the appended claim may be made in the general arrangement and in the construction of the minor details of our invention without departure from the spirit of the same.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is:

In a necktie-rack, a longitudinally slotted middle support perforated near its ends, the inner marginal edges forming the slot bent outwardly upon the material of the support, spaced therefrom, one continuous wire bent into a plurality of loops having rounded outer and inner apexes on each side of said support, the inner apexes held in the space formed by bending the material of the support upon itself, and ridges formed by pressing the material of the bent part down between the interstices separating the inner ends of the loops.

Signed at New York in the county of New York and State of New York this 16th day of October A. D. 1926.
